Whenever the British, Portuguese, Austrians, Russians or any other forces managed to capture one of Bonaparte's metal eagle standards, they would celebrate such an occasion with their own flags billowing around as well as with their cloaks and other parts of the uniform perfectly in place. This was an advent to showing as much patriotism as possible. Not as barbaric as the old placing of the heads on spikes, but it certainly drove the point across to the on watching Napoleonic armies and their allies.
